Hey Guys,

so some buddies and I a few weekends ago did a 2 night bike camp trip. Not too heavy or far :D ... Depot to carver park (with plenty of glug spots), late night pitch black ride (lights off) in the park, day 2 was around lake minnetonka(with plenty of glug spots), and day three was from the site back to the depot. The goal was to finish a bag of wine per team (teams of 2 people) before returning home-hence the tour de franzia name... It was a blast. And I started thinking that this could be a really cool thing to do with a larger group. Carver has a few group camp sites that can hold quite a few peeps. So I thought I'd throw it out there to see if there was any interest in doing it on the larger scale this fall maybe.

Hell yeah I like to slap the bag. I don't know if I could find a teammate but this sounds fun.

I just did basically this exact same trip a few weekends ago, except I brought a couple of bota babies. I'd be in for more.
